Okay I didn’t know what this movie was about but based off that description is it like a clean version of Fifty Shades of Grey?!😱

Edit: that’s probably a stretch comparison. Journalist. Interviews rich guy. Trash movie...

I'd like to nominate this post as my favorite question asked in this entire thread.

Hmmm...their application deadline isn't until friday. Something tells me that submitting one might just be futile...Or is that what you want me to think?! 😛

I kept starting to respond to it, but nothing quite did it justice, so I gave up. 😛
I did, however, consider, "Idk, what is that? Is that like a dirty version of The Chrismas Prince?" but as you can see, it just doesn't do the original justice.

This is quite an honor! :banana: unless you mean because it's a totally stupid question then 😳

LOL. I need to watch this Christmas Prince thing all of you are watching. Just waiting for things to die down. Then I'll draw my own comparisons. Not that I would EVER watch 50 Shades of anything....:bookworm: no scratch that :angelic:

Sooooo...Hawaii VA anyone? Closing in on a full business day past the deadline...

Between Hawaii VA and Cheyenne VA missing their deadlines, I feel like I’ve been stood up twice. I'll think about it tomorrow...

I think most (if not all) of my anxiety is coming from trying to figure out my schedule for the month of January. I've already had to schedule a handful of my patients (who I've been seeing regularly, on a weekly or biweekly basis) 5-6 weeks out because they don't want to transition/transfer to another clinician and would rather wait for my return from interviews. I mean, I know it can't be helped.. but I just can't help but to feel horrible for the discontinuity of care they're being subjected to. :sorry:

No, not a stupid question at all! I was 10,000% genuine in that I think this is my favorite question asked (and the one that made me laugh the most) in all 98 pages of this thread, hence why I am nominating your question. 😀

But for realz, go watch A Christmas Prince. The similarities to 50 Shades in detail are pretty slim but in terms of cotton candy for your brain it's pretty spot on.

....Not that I'd know anything about the content of the 50 Shades trilogy. #thefinalchapterbeginsthisvalentinesday :ninja:

As I drove to prac in the pitch black of night at 7 pm this evening with the knowledge that it had already been dark for 3 or so hours, I was really kicking myself for not applying to each and every site in close proximity to the equator. I need some effing sunlight or I need to be allowed to hibernate. This short day AND expected productivity nonsense is bull****.

Anyway, good luck with Hawaii. Please get hired on there permanently, quickly work your way into a hiring position, and hire me. Kthxbai.

This site's app deadline was 11/6 and notification deadline is 12/15. Def don't apply at this point! - I'm pretty sure that the interview spots have been filled (insider knowledge).

Is it this site and the directory page has a mistake or is it a different site of the same name? APPIC

The only reason this site is even on my radar is the match news updates. So, assuming we're talking about the same site, I'm guessing the 11/6 date is before their extension, which apparently isn't really being enacted? Thank you so much for saying something!!! I really might have applied otherwise.

Oh my! No, I'm speaking of The Guidance Center in Long Beach, CA, and I assumed the other posts were too. I know nothing about the link you sent! Maybe it's safe to still apply?

Oh, ok, wow! That's crazy that they have the exact same name and don't add anything to it to specify even if just for APPIC purposes!

Edit: Now that I know there's one in Long Beach, CA, it kind of takes the wind out of the sails of the idea of applying to one in Kansas. 😛

Posting for my labmate, but she received an invite approx. 10 days ago via an email around 8:00pm CST. If you don't got that rejection, you're still in the running. Hoping the best for you!

Oh wow! Thanks, I will hold out hope!

Really struggling with radio silence today...

Anyone else? How are you coping with it? I'm currently watching Shemar Moore and eating pizza. 🤣

I haven't had silence (kinda wish I did) but I did want to say that I think your coping strategy is excellent! Shemar Moore 😍

Invite
Personal Email - notified on 12/11

San Bernardino Department of Behavioral Health
Forensic/Outpatient Track (email seemed to be for both tracks)

Mass Email on 12/8

Yayyy! I also got Southern Nevada. I’m loving how many interview days they have!!!

Have a question, for those sites that have notification day as 15th and sent out invites, if I did not hear anything from them does that mean I should expect a rejection?
Click to expand...

At this point, I am expecting rejections from sites like that. There was some hope of an invite a bit ago, but now it seems unlikely.

Ya I’m in the same boat... for 6 sites. I’m hoping at least one is a rolling invite.... puhleeeez!!!! Come on graduate Gods, I’ll promise to defend in spring, I promise!

Has anyone heard from the following sites:
Salt Lake City VA
Orlando VA
Salisbury NC VA

those are the last 3 I am waiting on.

Also, the Malcolm Randall VAMC (Gainesville FL) notified via personalized email.

No on Orlando VA, their notification day is Friday so I'll just be pleasantly surprised if we hear before then.

Same. Not that surprised, I think this is a pretty competitive one for neuro.
 
I haven't heard from Salisbury yet either. I also haven't heard from the Hampton VA or Hutchings Psychiatric. It seems like the Hampton VA sent out some invites last week, so I'm expecting a rejection there, but I wish they would just send it out. This waiting is the worst.

I am still waiting on Hampton as well... It seems that quite a few people still are. I agree, the waiting is the worst.

This one sucked. Sorry no invitation banana dance...:diebanana::diebanana::diebanana:
 
I got my McLean rejection yesterday- it’s weird because the email sounded personalized (“While you are an excellent candidate with very impressive credentials, we regret that we will not be able to extend an interview invitation”) it was very clearly a mass email and they didn’t even use my name.

I know some people got personal invites from CHOC but a few of us are still hoping for more while Mentally preparing
 
It's not official...but I think I'm getting a REJECTION from West Virginia UHSC cause my master's degree obviously is not good enough since we are out of the education department and not psychology. EEEEEEkkkkk sometimes I am absolutely frustrated with being in a counseling program...that is CLOSING. I have too much to say about the latter and will refrain from venting out my frustrations. It is not good karma to do so ---- AND I NEED SOME GOOD KARMA FOR AT LEAST ONE MORE INTERVIEW. #internshipdesperation
 
Right now I feel (only slightly) sorry for all the students whose papers I'm grading, while I'm feeling grumpy and anxious about this internship process. If I have to write, "Punctuation goes INSIDE the f'ing quotation marks!" Or "Section headings would help organize this crappy 10-page-paper, as I suggested on multiple occasions in class and when I sent everyone a document with an APA template!" one more time... (If only I could say it like that for realsies)
:nono:
Time for another cup of coffee. 😉
